How to choose a Car?
While the first sememster I was here,I realized it is neccessary to have a car, since Champaign is such a big town. I believe nobody will disagree if he or she has ever taken a bus to Warmart.I throught it is credulous to spend an hour on travelling several miles away only. Thus,I decided to buy a car next sememster.
Choosing a car is a big task for me,because I want to buy a second hand car.Since they are much cheaper than brand new cars. Personally, I don't really know a lot about cars. However, I learned some skill about choosing a car from my friends. They may be helpful for you too.
Firstly, check the Carfax. It is one of the most important steps in choosing a second hand car. The carfax tells you not only about the histroy of the car, but also whether the car is in condition now.It provide information which you can not observe by eyes. Carefully read the carfax will makes you avoid from buying a car which has been through an accident. Also, it tells the exact mileage and a lot of useful information.
Secondly, try a test drive. It would be better if you invited someone who knows about car. In testing drive, try every single equipment in the car. For example, lights, CD player, break, engine and etc. Listen to the sound of engine and feel the power supply when you step on the accelerator.
Thirdly, to bargain about the price. There is a saying in America, " Never believe the price given by three kinds of people, a doctor, a lawer and a car dealer." So, the price can be much lower if you aks a better price.
Finnaly, all you have to do is fasten your sitbelt and enjoy the trip!
